Inside the Community: Understanding Muslims Through Their Traditions

by Phil Parshall

The purpose of the text is to help Christian missionaries learn about Islam so that they can spread the Gospel to Muslims more knowledgeably. Although Parshall, a missionary himself, strives for an unprejudiced tone, his literal reading of the Hadith as collected by Abu'Abd Allah Muhammad Al-Bukhari presents Muslim traditions as contradictory and flawed without meaningful reference to similar issues within Christianity.
